Once you get it started keep it running until fully warmed up Clive otherwise you may foul the plugs especially if you've already been trying today ;)

Got the old girl started. I'm gonna have to learn her little starting foibles, the XB used to start first push every time no matter how long it'd been left ;)

Left her running for about 10 mins but didn't get out on her as it was raining and she's far too shiny for that kind of thing :)

We've got a 400 mile round trip coming up in a couple of weeks so that should be a good run in for her. Then it'll be the first service, which I'm going to attempt :shock: Will she survive?

The EBR and X1 on a trip out together, a pair of dinosaurs with no warranty and one with pretty much no spares. What could possibly go wrong? :rotfl:
